New MacBooks: OutlookĪside from the 15-inch MacBook Air, WWDC 2023’s potential MacBook announcements don’t seem all that exciting, based on Gurman’s report. These upgrades might also come to the aforementioned 13-inch MacBook Pro, but again, that’s speculation. Using two 128GB NAND chips instead of a single 256GB chip could fix this issue. A faster 256GB for the entry-level model would also be appreciated, especially since the current model has slower speeds than the MacBook Air M1.

This is speculation on our part but this model might feature Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. If this model is also sporting an M2 chip like its current iteration, don’t expect much in the way of meaningful updates. The MacBook Air is apparently receiving an update.

The MacBook Pro 14-inch starts at $1,999 and the MacBook Pro 13-inch costs $1,299, so at the very least it would be nice if Apple offered MagSafe charging, a sharper webcam and slimmer bezels on the 13-inch model. Will the new MacBook Pro 13-inch have an M2 Pro chip? Will it retain the same design as its predecessor, Touch Bar and all? If it receives a redesign to fit the current Pro line, what would make it different from the latest MacBook Air? We’re not sure what to make of this laptop or how it will fit into the larger MacBook Pro lineup. Gurman claims the new MacBooks will also feature this chip, which makes us wonder how this 13-inch model will be different from what’s currently available. The MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 that launched last year packed the then-new Apple M2 Pro chip. We wish he had because we have several questions. Yet, with no MacBook Pros at WWDC, that might now be the most likely scenario.Gurman said a new 13-inch MacBook Pro is in the works but didn’t delve into specifics. That would be highly unusual considering the wide-ranging overhaul said to be coming to the smaller model, and the transition to Apple Silicon chips in the larger laptop.
And as long as the industry is trying to catch up, end products like MacBook Pros are likely to be delayed.īut without another Apple event expected until September at the earliest, it seems the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 updates might be released via a press release if they are to meet the expected summer release date. It is also affecting the process of mounting chips onto circuit boards. This has not just impacted the timelines for components like the Apple system-on-a-chip that now powers its MacBooks, but also components like display drivers. The delay might have been caused by the ongoing pandemic, which has squeezed production at chip facilities across the world.
That seemed to preclude the devices launching at WWDC, something which has now been proved correct. The absence of MacBook Pros at WWDC falls in line with a March report from Nikkei Asia, which said the production of two MacBook Pro models had been pushed back from May or June until the second half of 2021. Reliable leaker L0vetodream said they did not expect hardware at the show and that people expecting new MacBooks “should not be so fast.” Gurman published a roundup of what to expect that completely omitted hardware. Yet doubts began to emerge on the day of the event.
